“Now that we have a real store, the biggest response has been to our textures: People talk about our midnight-blue velvet smoking jackets ($425) and say our camel-hair robes ($585) feel like cashmere. Bonobos was formerly our parent company, and like their store, we’ll ship your purchase directly to your house, so you don’t have to carry a bag, but here you can also take it with you right away. Our creative director comes by to fit you in our powdery-blue vintage-inspired 15-ounce jeans ($275) that are exclusive to the store. I literally don’t buy jeans without her say-so, and now everyone else can too.”

“I’m creating a space that shows my collections surrounded by my influences and inspirations. We have a piece by Rauschenberg that’s all found objects from Asia encased in a type of plastic called Perspex. I’m half-Chinese, so I connect to the Asian aspect, and we also do a lot of Perspex heels and earrings ($280). The store is all about the art and furniture echoing the fabrications from the collection but in sturdier forms. Thick clear-plastic racks and cabinets carry our anglaise skirts that are also made out of embroidered plastic fabric ($2,345). We’ll be opening with the spring-summer ’17 collection that was originally shown in a London cathedral, so I made the windows look like a cathedral too.”
